Finding a 1909 VDB is certainly worthy of mention!

New oldest is down at the bottom of the picture. Only squeaked by my previous record by two years, but I've joined the 100 year club!

1906! About 10-12 years ago when I was a kid and didn't realize how special that was.

My oldest from bank roll was a 1886 type 2 Indian. Oldest Lincoln was also a 1909VDB, not at the same time tho. I think it all depends when the relatives toss grandpa's old coins in a "recycling" service. A benefit for us, but kinda sad it works out that way.

The oldest cent I have found was a 1941 and I got it in a roll here on base in Korea. Its pretty neat that its from ten years before the Korean War began and still ended up here.

I can't believe how many of you have found 1909 VDB's. When my son and I have done penny rolls, the only thing we found was common wheaties from the 1940's and 50's.

My daughter found her first Wheat penny in a roll this morning, from 1957. Excitement in the house!
